DEVICE FOR FILLING ICE-CREAM COBNEIB.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Application am October 7, 1907. Serial No. 896,216.

To all whom it my concerns i Be it known that I, MARTIN BOHLIG, a citizen of the United States, residing at St. Paul,

in the county of Ramsey and State of Minnemeans for filling ice cream cornets, its object being particularly to provide an improved form 0 cup for receiving ice cream which cup may be opened to allow the ice cream to drop directly into the cornets. a

To this end my invention consists in the features of construction and combination hereinafter more particularly described and clalimedl. d f

n t e accom anying rawing's ormi part of this speciiication, Figure 1 is a pailspective view of my improved invention in use, Fig. 2 is a rear elevation of the upper end of the delivery rece tacle or cup, Fig. 3 is a front elevation of the receptacle, Fig. 4 is a top view of the same closed, Fig. 5 is a similar view open, and Fig. 6 is a perspective view of the receptacle and of the supportinghinge therefor. I

As shown in the drawings the cup or receptacle is of cone shape to conform to the shape of an ordinary ice cream comet A, the cup consisting of two similar members 2 having ivotal su port 3 to the u per ends of the 'n e4. '1 e intle5ofthe nge4 issecured in t e central ame work 6 in the outwardly extending arms of which is fulcrumed the handles 7. The outer ends of the handles are normally held separated, to hold the cup closed, by a suitable spring 8. y

In order to permit opening of thecup I provide the hinge and cup members with horizontally extending slots 9 and 10,res ectively, the slots 10 extending downwar ly as indicated best in Fig. 6. The inner ends of the handles 7 carry pins 11 which extend through registering pans of said slots.

In use, by ressing the outer ends of the handles to et er the slots will st slighty swing the opposite sides of the cup upward u on their pivots 3, the further turning of the fever arms turning the hinge members upon their pintle and car-. rying the cup members to full 0 en position as indicated in Fig. 1. As the everarms are first turned to tilt the cup members it will repins 11 traveling in the sult in slightly squeezing the upper end of the ice cream to hold it from dro ping and at the same time free it from the si es of the cup allowing the lower end of the ice cream to be positioned over the top of the cornet A. The continued opening movement of the cup members frees the ice cream and allows it to drop into the comet.

I claim:

1. A device of the class described comprising a handle, a two part receptacle pivotally supported upon one end of said handle, and means for swinging said receptacle parts away from each other in a pro essing degree toward theirlower ends, for t e purpose set forth. 2. A device of the class described comprising a pair of fulcrumed handles, a two-part receptacle having hinge connection, and a pin and slot connection between said receptacle parts and the adjacent ends of said. handles for the urpose set forth.

3. A device of the class described comprisingin combination a pair of fulcrumed handles, a two-part rece tacle pivotally supported on a connecting llinge, and a slot and in connection between the inner ends of said ever arms and-said receptacle and huge for the pur se set forth.

4. A evice of the class described comprising, in combination a pair of fulcrumed lever arms, a two part receptacle pivotally supported upon a'connectmg hinge, and a connection between the receptacle parts and the adjacent ends of said lever arms causing said receptacle parts to be tilted apart at their lower ends as the inner ends of said lever arms are forced a art.

5. A device of 't c class described com rising in combination a pair of fulcrumed ever arms,'atwo-part receptacle having inde end- 'ent ivotal support upon a connecting e leaves'of said hinge being formed witli v the longitudinally extending slots and the adjacent portions of said receptacle parts belng formed with. downwardl extending slots, and pins carried by the inner ends of said lever arms and extending through said slots, for the purpose set forth. 6. A device of the classdescribed comprising in combination a pair of fulcrumed lever arms, a strap e, a two-part receptacle ivotally su porte upon the leaves of said hinge said ge leaves being formed w1th longitudinally extending slots, and said receptac'le arts being formed with adjacent tending through said slots for the purposeset forth.

7. A device of the class described, comprising a two part receptacle pivotallfy- "supported at their upper ends, and means or swinging said receptacle parts away from each other in a progressing degree toward their lower ends to form a bottom ope larger than the normal top opening. of 2:35 receptacle.

8. A device of the class described, comprismg a two part receptacle a pivot sup ort therefor, and means for swinging sald re- 5 ceptacle parts away. from each other upon sa1d pivot sup ort to form an unobstructed opening at the ottom'of the receptacle wide enough to permit the passage therethrough of any contents of said rece tacle.

In testimony whereof I a my signature in presence of two witnesses.
